To work around the proprietary whims of digital audio software developers and laptop processor limitations during the mid- and late-1990s, a small band of technically-minded people, including the electronic musician <a href="http://alumni.media.mit.edu/~bwhitman/" title="Brian Whitman">Blitter</a>, pulled together in the late 1990s to engineer the open-source <a href="http://www.gweep.net/~shifty/death" title=>OPEN DSP</a> EZ-Kit platform, a 16-bit computer designed entirely with a focus on low cost and extensible control and DSP arithmetic capabilities. While this project and <a href="http://www.chameleon.synth.net/english/chameleon/" title="Soundart Chameleon DSP effects/synthesizer">similar commercial offerings</a> never seemed to gain the critical mass needed to sustain long-term interest, perhaps the new <a href="http://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Hardware" title="Arduino: An open-source computing platform based on a simple I/O board and a development environment that implements the Processing/Wiring language">Arduino hardware</a> project from MIT's <a href="http://hardware.processing.org" title="Open-source electronics hardware design group">Processing hardware group</a> may gain a foothold with <a href="http://www.processing.org" title="Open-source programming environment for audio and video design">Processing</a> and <a href="http://puredata.info/" title="Pure Data: Graphical programming environment for realtime audio and video processing">Pure Data</a> audio software hobbyists and artists alike, allowing the creative community to extend, enhance and share inventive uses of new technology.
